My inspiration piece was a beautiful pendant http://www.etsy.com/listing/78779851...-and-dragonfly in turquoise and greens.
I started with glossy cs which I used alcohol and refill inks to color. I then smeared Versamark over the whole panel a couple of times and embossed in clear. The dragonfly stamp was inked with Versamark then Elegant Eggplant and stamped into the hot clear ep. The bottom stems were somewhat problematic....ended up with a leaf stamp inked in Versamark and Garden Green and used a large needle pressed into the hot ep for the stems...I added color with marker and a small pearl in each. The seam binding was spritzed with alcohol then crumpled before making the brad bow. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and Island Indigo with clear ep. This took me WAY TOO LONG and still wasn't quite what I'd envisioned in the end!

Sometimes we really never know where our card will end up, but who the heck cares when they end up looking like this! I love your color wash and embossing. Wow, this is over the top gorgeous.
